Not sure if that information is correct as it does not specify AT or MT. If there are improvements on the MZR engine plus the 5AT for 2008, I would expect better numbers.
 
Check 2007 values from the Mazda USA Web Site:
 
EPA Mileage, City/Highway (mpg) - M/T 22/27
EPA Mileage, City/Highway (mpg) - A/T 21/26
 
The values map the M/T EPA mileage...

Hi Kivo! I think it's going to be in November, 2007. That's when the dealerships usually start bringing in the 2008 makes. I'll ask my Mazda dealer and get back to you.

Stumbled upon this yesterday - click the link, then on the Copper Red Mazda5.

First time I've seen a LHD interior shot of the 2008, with in-dash navigation and in beige. There's this odd horizontal slot located below the shifter, might this be the rear seat AC duct? It's not present on any of the 2008 JDM Premacy pics.
 
According to the link: EPA 22/28, just below 2008 Mazda3's 22/29 rating.

When is stability control coming? by jaxs1

The lack of it on the 2008 Mazda5 is shocking especially on a minivan/crossover type vehicle. In this class, it is usually usually standard equipment rather than an option. On the Mazda5 it still isn't available even as an option.
 
Which other 2008 minivans or crossovers besides the Mazda5 do not have stability control at least optionally?
 
The Mazda5 may be the only 2008 minivan-type vehicle sold in the United States without availability of stability control. Pretty bad to be in that position.

Yes, I agree, but for the time I have driven mine I don't see it as a real critical need.
 
Most of the cars where I've seen ESC as a standard or as an option is because without it they are really dangerous.
 
After all, wasn't ESC was developed after so many SUVs and Minivans were really bad to maneuver on difficult situations even if the driver was a good one? The Mazda5 is not one of those.
 
Of course I would love to have ESC on mine. I know it is much safer for my family and me, don't take me wrong.

I'm in saskatchewan and in winter time city roads are usually frozen snow. I drive the MZ5 using ESC (easy, slow, careful) driving. . yes. with winter tires.

Adjusting Brightness of Dash Lights At Night by w00000t

I apologize if this seems like a stupid question but...
I am coming from driving a totally standard 2000 Chevy Cavalier to this nice 2006 Mazda5 Sport, so bear with me
 
I noticed the lighting in my car is pretty dim at night (stereo, speedometer, etc..). I have figured out how everything else electronic in this car works however I can NOT figure out how to adjust the brightness. Yes, I read the manual. It says it's on the handle where you turn on the headlights and whatnot but um... I tried twisting and pushing all sorts of things on there and all it does is turn the parking and/or head lights on. Someone please tell me how to do this...Thanks!
